5 expert makeup tips and products for the summer heat

You know it's the summer in Dubai when you step outside and instantly start sweating. Your sunglasses fog up from the humidity and makeup starts the slow descent off your face. While we can't really do much about the sticky air or scorching heat, we can help with keeping your makeup looking fresh all day and evening long. We spoke to professional makeup artist Tori Arthur for her expert tips to help keep your makeup looking flawless, even in the Dubai summer heat. Tori, who specialises in bridal makeup, leads a talented team of makeup artists and hairdressers offering services all over the United Arab Emirates. Whether you're heading off to a wedding, a brunch or a night out, Tori's tried and tested advice will help your makeup to beat the heat. Start with a solid skincare routine: exfoliate, cleanse, tone, and moisturise using products specific to your skin type. This creates the perfect base for makeup to sit on top of. If your skin isn't properly balanced, makeup can slide off, turn greasy, or become patchy throughout the day. Pro tip: When skincare is done correctly, a primer often isn't needed. A well-prepped base and proper setting are far more important for long wear. However, if you do want to use a primer, opt for a gripping or tacky primer (like Milk Hydro Grip) to help your foundation cling and stay in place through heat and humidity Choose a long-wearing, heat-resistant foundation and apply it in thin layers. Great options include Estée Lauder Double Wear and NARS Longwear Foundation. These formulas contain film-forming agents and silicone-based ingredients, which help makeup grip the skin, resist sweat and stay put even in high humidity. Even if you love a dewy finish, a light dusting of translucent powder across the face is essential to lock in your base. It removes initial tackiness and allows natural oils to come through in a controlled, glowing way- not greasy. Try Huda Beauty's, Easy Bake Loose Baking and Setting Powder. Setting and finishing sprays work best when used together throughout your makeup routine. A setting spray (like Urban Decay All Nighter) helps melt the makeup into your skin for a more seamless, natural finish. Then a finishing or fixing spray (like L'Oréal Infallible Setting Spray or Kryolan Fixing Spray) locks it all in and adds serious staying power. Don't be shy with them, mist generously as you go and at the end. Layering it this way makes such a difference in how your makeup lasts, especially in heat or long days. Pro tip: Spray a powder puff with setting spray and press it into the skin around the T-zone to really fuse the layers of makeup together and boost longevity. In heat and humidity, less is more. Use lightweight layers and blend well to avoid your makeup feeling heavy or sliding off. Strategic product placement and minimal touch-ups throughout the day will keep everything looking clean and fresh.

So, when the health and beauty chain decides to update its luxury range with a brand new foundation that is said to give an "airbrushed finish", we, alongside many others, pay attention. For those who don't like that cakey, heavy feeling on their face, this Pro Artist Weightless Silk Sheer Foundation is ideal for a lightweight coverage that is said to remain in place all day long. Costing £19.95 for a 30ml bottle, it has been designed to "glide seamlessly" onto the skin, offering a radiant, fresh appearance for 12 different skin tones, although it's worth noting that some are already sold out online. With added vitamin C, it helps to brighten the skin, while vitamin E supports the skin's natural moisture barrier, and hyaluronic acid helps to lock in moisture for a hydrating effect.

Also available in a shade for every skin type, it can be bought for 25 percent less at Debenhams where it has been cut from £39.50 to £29.63.

Estee Lauder foundation that 'stays flawless all day' is under £30 in rare sale

The cult-classic and beloved Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation is currently up for grabs with a delightful discount, as its normally not-very-wallet-friendly price plummets to under £30 Whether you're already a dedicated fan of this iconic foundation by beauty brand Estee Lauder, or looking for an excuse to test it out without splurging on the full price, you're not going to want to miss this limited-time deal. The popular Double Wear foundation by Estee Lauder, which has been a best-seller for several years and has won an impressive 4.7-star rating on Boots' website, is available in more than 60 shades. The makeup product, which would normally retail for a steep £39.50, provides medium-to-full coverage. Its formula boasts SPF 10 to help protect your skin from harmful UV rays. What's more, thanks to this Debenhams deal, it's now fallen below £30. The Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation is currently up for grabs for £29.50 at All Beauty, £29.63 at Estee Lauder's own site, and £31.60 at Lookfantastic. But if you're really looking for a bargain, Debenhams is hosting a delightful deal that offers this makeup must-have for one of the lowest prices around, at £27.65. According to Estee Lauder, this Double Wear foundation controls oil all day, leaving you with a shine-free complexion. It even claims to be sweat, humidity, and transfer resistant, making it oh-so-important in your makeup bag as we head closer to the summer season. Offering up to 24 hours of wear, the lightweight foundation aims to remain colour-true with an airbrushed effect, for an enhanced, natural beauty that's perfect for everything from your daily look to a full glam beat. Fortified with SPF10 protection, the multi-benefit formula works to blur the appearance of imperfections and improve the skin tone, alongside helping to visibly minimise unwanted shine for lasting, 'just-applied' freshness that won't look greasy. This foundation is a best-seller for a reason, as it has amassed thousands of glowing reviews. One Debenhams shopper shares: "It's Easy to apply and lasts all day. The bottle seems to last quite a while, too, and it's a good price compared to other providers. It doesn't feel thick on my face but gives a good, even coverage." Further praise comes from this buyer who beams: "The coverage is incredible and lasts all day. Will definitely again." And a third says: " Best foundation out there - stays on all day and makes flawless skin." Over at Lookfantastic, this customer raves: "I've tried SO many foundations, I have quite severe acne so struggled with foundations making my acne texture look worse or not covering redness etc. This one does EVERYTHING and oh my god the finish is gorgeous. I would say I have combo skin and this works really well on me. It doesn't feel or look cakey ever so i'm really impressed." While this shopper chimes in: "I've been using Estée Lauder Double Wear for a few weeks now and I'm really impressed. It gives me excellent coverage without feeling heavy, and it truly lasts all day even through heat and only thing I don't love is that it doesn't come with a pump, so it can be a little messy. I have combination skin, and this foundation works great for me. Highly recommend if you're looking for long lasting, reliable makeup that keeps your skin looking flawless."

This £18 mascara has made me ditch my ride-or-die after 10+ years

Shopping writer Lauren has been asked multiple times if she is donning false eyelashes when wearing this bestselling formula As a beauty writer, I test new products almost daily - from buzzy TikTok launches to under-the-radar gems. But like many people, I have my beauty staples I rarely stray from: MAC's mauve pink Mehr lipstick, Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir perfume and, up until recently, Estée Lauder's Double Wear Lengthening Mascara. That was until My Mascara by Sculpted by Aimee landed on my desk. One coat later, and I haven't picked up Double Wear since, meaning I've said goodbye to a decade of regular use. Retailing for a very reasonable £18 on the brand's website and at Boots, Sculpted by Aimee's ultra-black mascara has completely won me over. The curved wand is a game-changer - it hugs the lash line perfectly, coating each individual lash and leaving them looking fuller, lifted, and longer. It's also impressive long-wearing. I can apply it in the morning and trust that it'll stay put without smudging until I take it off, which, admittedly, takes a little effort. Get the look £18 Sculpted by Aimee Buy Now on Sculpted by Aimee Product Description I have to use a couple of face wipes or a proper eye makeup remover to get the last trace off, so it's worth considering. But honestly, it's a small price to pay for lashes that look this good. If you'd prefer an easier removal process, there are alternative options available. Benefit's Badgal Bang! is great for lifting lashes, but it's also easy to apply and remove. Likewise, the MACStack Mascara Mega Brush is easy to remove with a single face wipe. Back to Sculpted by Aimee, I'm not the only one who is impressed. Clinical testers back me up, with 92% of testers saying their lashes looked more voluminous. Meanwhile, 95% agreed lashes looked longer. My only slight gripe, aside from it being a little difficult to remove, is that it can appear slightly clumpy on the first swipe. But with a couple more strokes, it evens out beautifully, separating the lashes and building up that full, fluttery effect without going spidery. All in all, I didn't expect to find a new mascara after more than a decade, but here we are. Sorry, Estée - I've got a new favourite. Shoppers can purchase My Mascara by Sculpted by Aimee through the brand's website and at Boots.

6 best foundations I tested for oily skin that outlast heat, sweat, more

New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. The naturally dewy look is trending far and wide, but it isn't a finish those with oily skin types want to hop on. Sure, we all want hydrated skin — but a matte finish is best for oily skin types. As someone with combination skin, I've experienced way too many foundations that have streaked and slipped off throughout the day. But, that was before I routinely put the very best ones to the test. I'm getting extremely tired of pores, redness and feeling unbalanced. I wanted to stop seeing oily residue on my forehead when I looked in the mirror after returning home from work. There has to be a foundation to cure that, right? Short answer: yes. I've been testing beauty products for nearly 5 years straight — including the best foundations for oily skin — and can practically recite what's worth it from each brand sold at Sephora and elsewhere. After reviewing the best full-coverage foundations and the best options for dry skin, it's time for the oily skin edit. Best Foundation for Oily Overall: Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation Ulta Beauty Pros: Show-stopping and beautifully blendable, without looking mask-like as some matte foundations unfortunately appear Oil-free, matte finish Long-lasting and doesn't streak throughout the day Cons: No pump applicator (must pour out) Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation always gives me a dose of nostalgia. I remember my elementary school days of going to the mall with my mom, stopping at the Macy's beauty counter and watching her excitedly ask for the Double Wear foundation. For years, it has been a legacy product — and entirely worth it. The foundation is renowned for its long-lasting, full-coverage formula that has a known ability to resist fading, transfer and smudging. I love wearing this foundation when I know I need an oil-resistant finish to last me from early mornings to late evenings. It's also offered in a wide range of shades to accommodate various skin tones. Not to mention, it's buildable to ensure the final coverage is customizable from user to user. Victoria Giardina Despite its full-coverage name, it's particularly lightweight, which I love in matte foundations. It feels comfortable on the skin, blends seamlessly and is oil-free, which my combination skin drinks up. It's not fragrance-free, but there's not a strong, odious scent that would steer me away from using this full-coverage smoothing base. Unfortunately, this foundation is void of a pump applicator, so I have to pump out the product from its bottle onto the back of my hand. It's not messy, luckily, but just something to note. I usually pump out liquid foundations and other makeup products on my hand (consider it my painter's palette), so this isn't a complete dealbreaker. I've also found this foundation to be sweat- and humidity-resistant, which makes it perfect for any weather condition you're stepping out into. For a beautiful matte base that allows other products, like your concealer and powder, to glide on like a charm, this foundation has that it-factor. Shade range: 57 | Coverage: Full Coverage | Finish: Matte Best Drugstore Foundation for Oily Skin: Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Oil-Free Foundation Amazon Pros: Budget-friendly price point Helps diminish the appearance of pores Long-lasting and doesn't streak throughout the day Cons: No pump applicator (must pour out) Hello, less-than-$10 foundation. The Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Oil-Free Foundation is the best drugstore foundation for oily skin as it's both lovely once blended and affordable. It's tailored for normal to oily skin types, offering a lightweight, breathable formula that effectively controls shine and minimizes the appearance of pores. Listen, I'm a bit hesitant about drugstore foundations, but this one proved me wrong. Its oil-free composition never clogs my pores or breaks me out, making it suitable for anyone prone to acne or blemishes. The foundation provides a natural matte finish that lasts up to 12 hours, reducing the need for midday touch-ups. I hardly have to reapply my loose powder! This foundation, price point taken into account, blurs imperfections without feeling heavy or cakey exceptionally well. The medium to full coverage is buildable, allowing me to achieve my desired level of coverage without compromising on comfort. How does it work? The formula contains micro-powders that absorb excess oil and smooth the skin's texture, resulting in a flawless complexion. Additionally, the foundation is dermatologist-tested, allergy-tested and noncomedogenic. I'd recommend this for sensitive skin types, too. Shade range: 40+ | Coverage: Full Coverage | Finish: Matte Best Full Coverage Foundation for Oily Skin: Anastasia Beverly Hills Impeccable Blurring Second-Skin Matte Foundation Sephora Pros: Lightweight, looking and feeling like a second layer of skin once applied Easily absorbs into the skin and is long-lasting Available in a generous range of shades to choose from Cons: The price point may be unreachable for some Not as hydrating as other foundations tested, but worked well on my combination skin The Anastasia Beverly Hills Impeccable Blurring Second-Skin Matte Foundation is the brand's latest innovation that I reviewed, clad with a high-performance formula designed to deliver a flawless, natural finish that lasts throughout the day. This foundation provides full coverage while maintaining a lightweight feel and is excellent at helping to mute out the appearance of pores. Candidly, it's not as hydrating as some other full-coverage foundations on this list, but it's great for those seeking a smooth, even complexion without feeling heavy. That impressive second-skin technology creates a noticeable seamless blur effect that minimizes the appearance of imperfections. The result? A finish that's both comfortable and breathable. Before and after of applying the Anastasia Beverly Hills foundation. Victoria Giardina I'd say it's the best full-coverage foundation for oily skin due to its matte finish and oil-controlling properties. Whether you're aiming for a full-glam look or just want a light touch of coverage, this foundation adapts to your desired finish and does so beautifully. Shade range: 21 | Coverage: Medium to Full Coverage | Finish: Matte Most Lightweight Foundation for Oily Skin: IT Cosmetics CC+ Color Correcting Full-Coverage Foundation SPF 50+ Sephora Pros: Includes SPF 50 for excellent sun protection Generous shade range Buildable and breathable Cons: Higher price point Meet one of the most reliable oily skin foundations that I turn to on most days: the IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream with SPF 50+. It's buildable, lightweight and has a your-skin-but better feel. Though a bit pricey, this is the most lightweight foundation for oily skin. Despite its rich pigmentation, the cream maintains a weightless texture, making it ideal for anyone seeking substantial coverage without compromising comfort. This lightweight nature ensures that the product doesn't clog my pores or contribute to excess oil on my face as the day progresses, which is a common concern for me. ​ In addition to its lightweight feel, the CC+ Cream is enriched with skin-loving ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and vitamin E. For a makeup product, this is nothing short of incredible. Together, this ingredient list provides hydration, reduces the appearance of fine lines and promotes an even skin tone. This enhances the overall complexion. Shade range: 26 | Coverage: Full Coverage | Finish: Natural Best for Acne-Prone Skin: Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Soft'Lit Longwear Foundation Sephora Pros: Excellent at reducing shine Generous shade range Both hydrating and long-lasting Cons: Price point may be unreachable for some ​Fenty Beauty's Soft'Lit Naturally Luminous Longwear Foundation is one I've been using for a long time, particularly for its ability to help manage blemishes and reduce shine. This foundation offers a lightweight, buildable formula that delivers medium coverage with a natural-looking luminous finish. Namely, it hydrates, brightens and improves my skin tone both instantly and over time, while resisting sweat, humidity and transfer. If you have acne-prone skin, you'll likely notice how it immediately reduces the appearance of surface oil and shine, providing a whole new kind of radiance without looking greasy. The inclusion of Cyperus Papyrus Leaf Cell Extract in the formulation ensures all-day hydration, which is essential for maintaining skin balance and preventing overproduction of oil. Additionally, Kakadu Plum Extract, rich in antioxidants, helps brighten and improve skin tone over time, addressing concerns related to acne scars and uneven pigmentation. Queen Rihanna's ingredient list is superb, making this foundation worth the cost. Shade range: 44 | Coverage: Medium Coverage | Finish: Natural Best Found for Oily Skin with SPF: Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF 15 Foundation Sephora Pros: Buildable and breathable Contains vitamin C to help brighten the skin Long-lasting Cons: Doesn't contain SPF 30, which is the standard recommended by dermatologists (however, you can use a moisturizer with SPF as a primer) The Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF 15 Foundation holds a formulation my skin can't help but love. It's SPF-infused, oil-free and dermatologist-developed formula provides medium to full coverage that effectively evens out my skin tone — but, it's breathable. A stark contrast from many foundations that may feel heavy or clog my pores, Clinique's formula is lightweight and noncomedogenic, making it ideal for those prone to occasional breakouts or excess oil production. It also helps improve skin clarity over time, thanks to ingredients like vitamin C and antioxidants. Another key reason this foundation stands out is its shine-controlling finish. Oily skin, especially in humid weather, often leads to makeup breaking down or looking greasy by midday, but Clinique's Even Better Makeup is designed to stay in place and control oil without emphasizing dry patches or pores. Each time I apply it, this foundation leaves a natural, skin-like finish: not too matte, not too dewy. This helps balance my complexion tenfold. While it doesn't hold the dermatologist standard of SPF 30, I recommend using one of the best SPF-infused moisturizers I reviewed as a protective base. Shade range: 36 | Coverage: Medium | Finish: Natural How I Tested Some of the foundations tested, from Anastasia Beverly Hills to YSL Beauty. Victoria Giardina My skin is sensitive and combination, so it took me more than four years of testing (aka, ransacking Sephora and Ulta Beauty for the best on the market) to test each one consistently.

Which type of foundation is best for oily skin? For oily skin, the best type of foundation is one that controls shine, resists oil breakthrough and stays matte throughout the day. You should look for a normal to matte finish. Should people with oily skin use liquid or powder foundation? For the fullest coverage, liquid foundations are the way to go. However, if you experience a bit more shine than others, consider topping off your liquid foundation with a powder foundation, either following your liquid foundation or solo.
